Better Regex Options Builder

Hi All,

Recently I came across a query and thing UiPath must improve the Regex tool a bit!!!

So my suggestion is as follow:

While creating regex we usually go to multiple website just to build our regex expression, such as https://regexr.com/ OR https://regex101.com/

It would be great if we don’t need to go to any other tool and just simply rely on UiPath!!!

Just a though, appreciate your input on the same :slight_smile:

I think that’s a fantastic idea Shubham, especially with how many RegEx questions we come across in the forums.

Maybe they could add a small module in the initial UiPath training sessions as well!

Something similar to the Explanation module on Regex101.com would also be amazing.

Hello guys @Shubham_Varshney @chenderson

The ideas both of you guys have mentioned are really great. I agree on that too… Regex is a area where many are not familiar with. So along with the module, a training video would be a great addition for all the community members… :grinning::grinning::grinning:

Hi @Shubham_Varshney

We already have in-built Regex tool :smiley:
See here:

Or do you mean to improve that tool? If yes, then how? :slight_smile:

hi @loginerror

We are seeing a lot of queries in the forums on Regex recently and I agree with @chenderson suggestion that we must have a tutorial in the Academy on Regex and a bit of improvement in the tool:

  1. A quick reference on how things work such as /w for word and so on!!!
  2. A bit more info I think would be through the ideal sites like https://regex101.com/

Hope this helps on my query :slight_smile:

I believe there is a piece on the Regex Builder on Academy as part of the 2019.4 Updates course:

I believe it goes over the basic functionality :slight_smile:
